|
|
Hi,
I use C++ Builder 6 Enterprise. I have made a change to OPToDomConv.pas in
directory ($BCB)Soap. How do I now rebuild the VCL so these changes take
effect?
Any help appreciated.
Thanks,
Syd.

You are NOT allowed to do this - you agreed not to when installing.
This is there to stop different versions of the VCL getting around and
causing DLL hell.
However, there is a way that you can do this:
Add the pascal file to your project and rebuild using static libraries.
If you have made significant changes to the file you may have been better
off deriving a new class from the one you have modified and adding the
features/fixes to that (but this sometimes isn't possible).

Hi Pete,
Thanks for the info. I didn't realise it was against the licencing agreement
to make such changes, my understanding was that IF changes were made then
Borland will not provide any support.
Thanks once again for the reply.
Syd.

It is not against the license to make changes. It is against the license to
recompile the VCL library itself, which is not doable anyway since Borland
does not supply all of the library source files needed to do so anyway.

And you do not necessarily need to compile and link statically, you just
cannot include the package containing your updated .pas file in the runtime
packages list.
